Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.

At what type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found near?
A certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.
What is the name of the part of the plate boundary that passes through California?

What type of plate boundary are strike slip fault found?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is the dead sea fault zone on?
The Dead Sea fault zone is located on a Transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is found near Haiti?
A strike-slip plate boundary is found near Haiti, specifically the boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. This boundary is associated with the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault system that runs through the region.
What type of fault exists between the North American and Pacific Plate?
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
What kind of fault is probably most common in the northern San Andreas fault system and why?
The san Andreas fault is a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary is a strike-slip fault. The North American plate and the Pacific plate are both moving vertically in different directions.
The San Andreas fault is what type of plate motion?
The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault which marks a transform (or sliding) boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In essence the plate boundary is destructive rather than constructive but at present the energy is directed at moving the Pacific Plate in a generally northerly direction, parallel with the coastline.
Can a fault also be a plate boundary?
Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.
What type boundary is the San Andreas Fault?
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
The san andreas fault is an example of what kind of fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault where the motion is mainly horizontal, with the two sides moving past each other horizontally. It is a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
What kind of fault is the most common in the northern san Andreas fault system?
The san Andreas fault is a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary is a strike-slip fault. The North American plate and the Pacific plate are both moving vertically in different directions.
